Crowdfund Insider: As we close out the year, what are some core objectives your team will prioritize in 2026?

Sunny Lu: As we close out the year, our core objective for 2026 will be to continue building real-world blockchain applications that demonstrate the technology’s utility beyond speculation. VeChain is making sustainability personal for individuals and investable for ESG-conscious actors, working with major partners like UFC and 4Ocean.

This includes driving growth in adoption of VeBetter.com and VeBetter apps, such as MugShot, that rewards users for using recyclable cups, or GreenCart, which incentivizes sustainable grocery shopping, paired with simple on-chain pathways that provide access to the VeChain staking platform – which already has $137 million in TVL.

These actions reflect our commitment to pairing on-chain incentives with tangible environmental impact, while continuing to grow our ecosystem.
